The problem
Fashion-commerce recommendations usually optimise for another purchase without understanding what the customer already owns.
Customer and operations dashboards with backend services for parcel lifecycles, tracking events and notifications, built for high-throughput transactional workflows.
South African legal information is scattered across portals with limited keyword search, while international e-discovery platforms are often priced beyond the local market.
What was built
Fashionly grounds recommendations in the user's wardrobe, builds outfits from existing items and recommends products only where a genuine wardrobe gap exists. Khanya, a LangGraph stylist with about 15 typed tools, handles wardrobe access, catalogue search, saved looks and human-stylist bookings.
